Any of this sound like you?
I’m tired of finding myself in the same situations. Relationships that go no place. Fake friends. No support. Struggling. A job that I don’t like but I need the money. Why me? What am I doing wrong? Am I unlovable?
This is not what I want. I want more. I deserve more. I’m afraid of starting over. I have a family to support. I don’t want to be alone. I’m no spring chicken. I don’t have any other skills. I don’t even know how to go about changing or fixing this.
I hate my life right now. I’m not happy. I feel like I’ve lost myself. I’m unfulfilled.
Well what should I do?
Get very honest with yourself. Take those feelings, that situation or your current circumstance and imagine that you are staring at it in the mirror. What’s the truth that you need to accept? How is it making you feel? What are you afraid of?
Check yourself. This includes your attitude, your thoughts, your beliefs and your behavior. What are you telling yourself? How true is this? How is this causing you to act?
Make a choice. You can decide to stay right where you are today. You’ll stay in that same place, saying the same thing and singing the same song. Or, you can decide that enough is enough. I’m better than this. I’m greater than this. I have a choice. I’m choosing me, my life, my goals, my dreams and my happiness.
Take an action. If you want to get what you want it’s going to require that you do something to get it. So take one action. It doesn’t have to be something big. In fact it’s better if you start with a baby step. Make it a reasonable first step that you can take today.
It can be as simple as, today I am choosing me. I am no longer choosing to be stuck. I am no longer choosing to be overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed out and unhappy. I am ready to move forward. Right now I don’t really know what that means or exactly how. However, as of right now I am committed to whatever it takes so that I can have what I want.
It can also be, I am no longer choosing to focus my thoughts and energy on what I don’t want and what doesn’t work for me. I am going to focus on what I want, where I need to go and grow and taking the next step in that direction.
You are more powerful than you think. You are more capable than you believe. You have so much potential. You can have what you want. It all starts with you. Say yes to you!
